New Delhi, March 9:

Taking a leaf out of the Tata Teleservices -Virgin Mobile deal, State-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd has decided to adopt the franchisee model for rolling out wireless broadband using WiMax technology.

BSNL has invited bids from prospective partners on a revenue-sharing basis.

BSNL wants to be the first to roll out wireless broadband on the 2.5-Ghz band. While private telecom companies have to bid for spectrum in this band, BSNL and MTNL will get automatic allocation. Broadband services on WiMax technology promise high-speed Internet access on laptops and mobile handsets.

Though WiMax-enabled mobile handsets are expensive at the moment, manufacturers such as Motorola are betting on a huge uptake which will bring the prices down.
